What Was The Scariest Book You Ever Read
 

FOR ME HAD TO BE PET SEMETARY...ANYBODY

The Exorcist

The Stand.

The excorsist

i agree with the exorcist dam book gave me nightmares

Scariest book
 

Pet Sematary is defenitely the scariest fiction book I've ever read. The scariest based on fact book I ever read, was The Devil in Conneticut, I had to stay away from horror for a short time, to recover

i've actually never found a book scary

the only thing i've read that scared me was my bank statement

Re: Scariest book
 

What's the Devil in Conneticut about? Seems like I've heard of it, but I can't remember.

Its about a teenager that murders his whole family. Its written from his point of view, what he saw, what he experienced, and why.

Same


The Exorcist was kinda....heckuva lot better than the movie!

1. Salem's Lot
2. They Thrist
3.The Exorcist
4 The Amittyville Horror

oh no doubt

Thanks!

The Shining.........next would be Salem's Lot. I am reading that one again for a book club.

i cant for the life of me even begin to understand how someone can be frightened by a book ..

I did read 2 books that had a weird effect when i was reading them though ..

Dune made me look at water differently ..

And there was a Laurence Saunders book that was futuristic .. (rare for him) and it made me hyper aware of something while i was reading it - and i cant remember what it was now.

Hows that for some valuable info ! :)

If books can't scare you, then movies can't either.

i havent been scared by a movie since i was a kid ..
but i disagree completely.

The music is what scares you in a movie ..
You dont get sudden carefully placed bursts of soundtrack when reading a book.

Well I try as much as possible to dim down the lights and get rid of every noise when reading a scary book. Makes it eerier. Could can work things out to make it scarier.

When I was about 13 I read the short story "The Boogeyman" by Stephen King (out of his collection "Night Shift"). It creeped me out so bad that I think I blacked out.

Night of the Claw - Ramsey Campbell

Pet Sematary - S. King

Bram Stoker's Dracula

The Amityville Horror

Ghost short stories in general

it-steven king
the crow-my own
the giver-unknown to me-soso:(
is that ok?

Dick and Jane books were teh scary...:eek:

As an adult, House of Leaves.

As a kid, I'm sure there were a bunch, but I don't remember.

The Exorcist without a doubt. Reading it late at night, with all the ambient sounds of the house adding to the already overactive imagination can give you the serious creeps.

The Hyde Effect was another that was eerie and had some good scare factor, especially the last act which made you feel the fear of those involved. With the right director and some cleaning up, this would be an excellent werewolf movie. Something we seriously need, I am TIRED of vampires. lol

Helter Skelter made me sleep with the light on for about a week when I read it in high school. The last twenty pages when they desrcibe other unsolved murders possibly linked to teh Manson Family was especially chilling.

they thirst
 

What is "They Thirst" about?.I used to have the paperback and somehow some of my books have mysteriously dissapeared:confused: anyway i still have "Stinger" and "Blue World" By Robert R McCammon,but I didnt get to read "They Thirst" before it got stolen/dissapeared/ran off..lol.or whatever.I do remember it sounding very interesting ,(checking it out on various websites..etc).I'm gonna have to get another copy!

Re: they thirst
 

Vampires. It's one of my favorite books. I used to have it also and it disappeared.

Re: Re: they thirst
 

you mean : Vampire$ ?

the book John Carpenter's Vampires was based on ?

Re: Re: Re: they thirst
 

No, I was answering evil's question. The book "They Thirst" is about vampires who take over Los Angeles.

oh .. duhh sorry


i read They Thirst a long time ago ..

wasnt it vampires .. plus the city turning into a desert ..?

The vampire prince caused a massive sandstorm so the humans would be trapped inside and be easy prey.

sort of like The Day After Tomorrow, with sand instead of ice .. and vampires instead of ... well, Dennis Quaid .. i guess.



vampire prince sounds goofy ...


like Prince .. lisping Little Red Corvette with big fangs.

I always wished they would make a movie of it - maybe we could get Prince to do it!:D

I remember a book I read a long time ago that scared the fuckin' shit out of me.


Night Stone by Rick Hautala

I totally agree. I've not been scaired by a movie in a good while.

Something about a book that hooks me in more that opens my mind than imbeds it's fear.

I agree, Pet Semetary was a damn scarey ass book, so was Amittyville Horror. :eek:
